The program tool Thermath now lets researchers automatically generate complete, ready-to-use Matlab functions. The examples here deal with critical-point calculations and the development of equipment models for separations in the chemical industry, but the ability to automatically generate Matlab functions is useful in many areas of science and engineering.
